Graeme Swann made his test debut against India in 2008. Immediately he made an impact dismissing both Gautam Gamnhir and Rahul Dravid in his very first over in Test cricket. Following the poor form of Monty Panesar, the off-spinner became a regular member of England’s Test side.

Swann was England's primary wicket-taker especially in the longer format of the game. He was also quite handy with the bat in the lower order and also has a highest score of 85.
He is still regarded as one of the greatest English spinners of all-time. Sadly, Swann announced his retirement from international cricket when England were 3-0 down in the Ashes 2013-14 series.
Swann cited "an injury issue" as the reason for his early retirement. He was only 34 at the time and could have easily played a few more years for his country before hanging up his boots.

Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
